Uma Musume Pretty Derby: To The Basement [172]

Symboli Rudolf had plenty of paperwork left today, so she returned first to the student council.

Meanwhile, Air Groove and Tokai Teio stayed behind, intending to help with Mizuno's experiments.

After assigning the two the task of removing the wilted sunflowers, Mizuno planned to return to his tent to continue adjusting today’s nutrient solution.

He hadn't walked far when he heard a crisp wooden snap behind him.

Crack!

Puzzled, Mizuno turned back, only ...

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: To The Basement [171]

While Mizuno was still entangled with Tokai Teio, debating whether or not he should pretend to be the mysterious man…

Symboli Rudolf had already stepped forward, firmly stopping Air Groove from continuing to dig up the soil.

Holding down Air Groove's mud-covered hands, Rudolf gently urged her, "Air Groove, please stop. No matter how good that person is at hiding, he couldn’t possibly be underground…"

"Ugh…" Air Groove glanced around at the holes she'd dug, then at th...

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: To The Basement [170]

Taking advantage of Air Groove’s complete lack of attention toward him at the moment, Mizuno quickly reached out his left hand, pulled over the still-self-satisfied Tokai Teio, and whispered sharply:

“Teio, didn’t we agree to keep this secret and not tell anyone else? Why did you bring Air Groove herself over here?!”

Faced with Mizuno’s questioning, Teio instead looked genuinely puzzled.

“That’s right—I didn’t tell anyone else…” Teio tilted her head inn...

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: To The Basement [169]

Mizuno was focused intently on adjusting the nutrient solution ratios when he suddenly heard footsteps approaching from behind. A packaged loaf of bread was gently placed on the table beside him.

He didn't bother looking back, guessing it was probably Symboli Rudolf returning from the cafeteria.

“Thanks,” Mizuno politely said, planning to finish his work first and eat breakfast later.

But then, he felt a sudden gentle pat on his shoulder—not heavy, more like a friendly...

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: To The Basement [167]

“Hehe~”

After lying together on the bed with Mizuno for a short while, Symboli Rudolf seemed to recharge some kind of internal energy. Her horse ears twitched happily, signaling she’d regained her motivation.

Smiling softly, Rudolf turned onto her side, looking expectantly at Mizuno beside her.

“Otouto, are you free tonight?”

Still inwardly lamenting gardener-san’s cruel betrayal, Mizuno wasn’t paying close attention and answered honestly without thinking...

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: To The Basement [166]

"Otouto, come over here."

Having finished tidying her things, Symboli Rudolf lay sideways across the bed inside the tent. Gazing calmly at Mizuno, who stood frozen in place, she patted the empty space beside her.

“Guh…” Sweat poured down Mizuno’s forehead as he stared helplessly at Rudolf’s inviting pose.

Different time, different place—but the source of the fear within his heart remained exactly the same.

Mizuno knew this scene far too well. Each night bac...

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: To The Basement [165]

Thanks to Tokai Teio’s help, today’s experiment preparations had wrapped up in record time. All that remained was to wait until tomorrow to see the results.

Mizuno lay comfortably on a recliner in the garden clearing, sunglasses shading his eyes as he quietly basked in the sunlight.

Several birds didn’t even notice someone was here—they simply felt the warmth of the sun and smelled the comforting fragrance in the air, happily landing on Mizuno’s body to enjoy the leisure...

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: To The Basement [164]

Tokai Teio ultimately joined Mizuno's so-called "Plant Growth Research Team," though counting Mizuno himself, the group totaled only two members…

In truth, Mizuno had initially refused Teio’s participation.

But Teio had only given Mizuno two options—either she joined him planting flowers, or she'd go investigate the mysterious masked man’s whereabouts herself.

Which option to choose didn’t even need to be asked…

After all, dodging an open arrow is easy; avo...

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: To The Basement [163]

"Ah... well, about that..."

Facing Tokai Teio's question, Mizuno felt a wave of headache coming on.

Though he'd previously imagined plenty of unexpected scenarios that might disrupt his secluded research phase—like sudden hailstorms, earthquakes, tsunamis, plants mutating wildly, or even alien invasions—and had even prepared detailed countermeasures to handle them, he'd still hoped to minimize any interruption to his plans.

He had even prepared for the possibility of his...

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: To The Basement [162]

“Trainer~ Where have you been these past few days? I’ve missed you so much!”

Tokai Teio scolded with a pouting anger while squeezing Mizuno even tighter. She greedily sniffed his scent, as if trying to make up double for what she'd missed these last few days.

“...” Mizuno wanted to explain himself, but right now his entire face was buried in Tokai Teio’s belly, never mind speaking—he could hardly breathe!

“Mmmph!!” Since Mizuno couldn’t break free from Te...

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: To The Basement [161]

Tokai Teio had originally thought today would just be another sorrowful day without a single glimpse of Mizuno.

But the moment she stepped into the garden, amidst the jumble of grasses and blossoms, she suddenly caught a whiff of a scent she’d been yearning for day and night.

That unique fragrance—part sticky-sweet honey from the S-Grade Honey Drink, part her own scent she had deliberately rubbed onto him before—its owner was unmistakable…

“Trainer!”

Restricted-Class Shinigami [135]

The fight between Nobu and Zaraki Kenpachi had stirred no small commotion, eventually drawing the attention of the First Division.

Once the details came to light, the Head-Captain issued a formal criticism to the Eleventh Division and ordered that the cost of repairing the destroyed dōjō be borne entirely by them.

Still, the Head-Captain had asked about the outcome.

Madarame Ikkaku had not concealed the truth.

Word reached the Fourth Division quickly.

“Tachik...

Restricted-Class Shinigami [134]

“By the Eleventh Division’s custom—if you kill me, you won’t be punished. On the contrary, you could take my place as the new Kenpachi. Ikkaku and Yumichika are witnesses. They’ll vouch for you.”

Zaraki Kenpachi’s voice was low, rough. “Not a bad offer, is it?”

At the edge of the dōjō, Madarame Ikkaku and the other two were silent.

They knew Kenpachi’s nature better than anyone.

And for Ikkaku and Yumichika, the man they respected most...

Th...

Restricted-Class Shinigami [133]

The force in Zaraki Kenpachi’s strike could have split mountains and shattered stone.

Reiatsu surged with the fall of his jagged blade, and from the point beneath his feet, cracks spider-webbed outward through the floorboards. Even the roof beams of the dōjō trembled under the impact, shaking down a haze of dust.

And yet—when that chipped blade struck Nobu’s shoulder, it was as if it had lodged there.
The serrated edge bit against his skin, but could not sink so much as...

Eleventh Division barracks.

The moment Nobu stepped inside, the eyes of every Eleventh Division member seemed to turn toward him at once.

It was clear they already knew why he had come and in their gazes, there was an uncharacteristic gravity.

Ordinarily, the Eleventh looked down most on Fourth Division, for in their view, the Fourth was nothing but a den of weaklings.

But Tachikawa Nobu...

Was not that sort of Fourth Division man.

Madarame Ikkaku was the f...

Over fifty years ago, something momentous shook the Soul Society.

That incident ultimately resulted in the disappearance of four Gotei 13 captains, three vice-captains, and one vice–Kidō Chief… while two captains and a Kidō Chief defected.

It was one of the most grievous blows to the Seireitei’s vitality in nearly a thousand years.

Most of the detailed records surrounding it had long since become buried secrets. These days, even among the Thirteen Court Guard Squads,...

“Hippogriff—! Take us out of here!!” Astolfo shouted weakly to his mount.

As a Noble Phantasm, the Hippogriff naturally possessed far greater endurance than Astolfo himself—especially since it was a creature that existed solely in fantasy.

The earlier [Command Spell]’s empowerment had not only affected Astolfo but also extended to his mount. After all, it was ultimately the Hippogriff’s charge, not Astolfo personally, that had defeated Semiramis.

“By my [Command Spell]—break free of your restraints, Rider!”

If Achilles hadn’t shouted that order so furiously, Jeanne might never have considered using her [Command Spells].

After all, Achilles’s sudden attack didn’t violate any rules of the Holy Grail War. It was entirely within the rights of the hidden Master to seize the Grail this way.

Jeanne had no grounds to oppose it. Yet, the moment she saw the swarming insects ...

Buzz—! Buzz—! Buzz—!

Before the Holy Grail could deliver its judgment, the sounds of countless beating wings filled the air surrounding the Church.

“That’s the presence of Magecraft!”

Kairi Sisigou, the only magician present who truly had extensive experience in magical combat, immediately sensed the abnormal surge of magical energy around the Church.

Even now, despite their apparent victory being within grasp, Sisigou hadn’t dropped his v...

Emiya Shirou Doesn't Want to Work Overtime [212]

Hiss—!

The air surged violently around Shirou Emiya, rushing into his mouth in wave after wave.

Sharp cracks echoed from deep within Emiya’s body—no, more precisely, from within his soul itself.

Shirou Kotomine immediately understood: this was a sign that Emiya’s soul was reaching its breaking point.

No matter how strong Emiya’s willpower was, the integrity of his soul had an absolute limit.

If Emiya’s heart was pierced, perhaps his unyieldin...

Emiya Shirou Doesn't Want to Work Overtime [211]

Swish—!

Amid this blissfully tranquil field of flowers, the razor-sharp tachi sliced through the air like crashing thunder, scattering every trace of wind in its wake.

“Haaaah!”

Shirou Kotomine roared fiercely, lunging forward with a swift stride, bringing down his weapon mercilessly toward Shirou Emiya’s head.

Even though Shirou Emiya was now only a spiritual form.

Even though Shirou Emiya was already covered in wounds.

Shirou Kotom...

I Don’t Want to Be a Heroic Spirit [741]

Meteora slowly raised her hand, pointing toward Shimazaki Yuna amidst the monstrous horde. Her voice, calm yet carrying an unwavering resolve, reached everyone's ears clearly.

"This person is Shimazaki Yuna... and at the same time, she is the one who summoned these monsters into our world, manipulating them from the shadows to destroy this world."

Mirokuji Yūya stood right beside Meteora. Upon hearing her words, even he froze momentarily, doubting his own ears.

"...Hey! Met...

“So you’re the one Tomori mentioned—the one who ‘wants to become human.’”

“—?!”

The moment Rinto said this, Sakiko, who had been sinking into guilt and unease, immediately lifted her head.

Like a child caught doing something wrong, her beautiful amber eyes quickly welled with tears. She opened her mouth but couldn’t make a sound.

Like a mermaid princess washed ashore, helpless and voiceless, Rinto couldn’t help thinking.

“On Dan Heng’s route, at this point you’d first see Clara talking with Svarog.”

“Then, naturally, the Express crew shows up with Seele.”

“And, naturally, a clash of ideals leads straight into a fight.”

“But now, on Lingzhou’s route, this cutscene feels like Clara hasn’t arrived yet.”

“Could it be because Lingzhou dealt with the vagrants blocking the road, saving the time detour would’ve cost?”

What everyone thought would be a plain, ordinary elite-encounter—turned into a bit of Elation thanks to the two minis in the Express crew griefing each other.

March’s reckless joy, Stelle’s helpless snark, and Lingzhou’s…

Mm, he was probably speechless.

Maybe a little amused.

And at the very end, a pinch of a senior covering for juniors, indulgent and soft.

Of course, that last part was Ah Xian impatiently tacking it on.

Because in her heart, Ling...

Lingzhou: “Let me correct you, Stelle. March does have a talent—her photography skills are unmatched.”

Stelle: “Ah, I was careless. My bad.”

March 7th raised her brows. “You two—…forget it. Photography talent counts too. But for now, let’s fix this minecart.”

The group divided tasks clearly, and in no time the repairs were done.

“You work fast,” Seele admitted, surprised. “I thought you’d all be pampered types, never touched hard labor befor...

Honkai: Star Rail – From the Moment Tom Cat Became My Passenger [82]

At this moment, the Astral Express crew and Jing Yuan had finally reached the last seal.

“What’s that thing? A dragon?”

March 7th scratched her head, asking curiously.

Ahead stood a colossal dragon’s head, its horns gracefully stretching outwards, shimmering with a faint turquoise glow, exquisitely beautiful yet majestically intimidating.

Hearing her words, Dan Heng shook his head slightly. His memories had almost fully returned, and he was intimately familiar ...

Honkai: Star Rail – From the Moment Tom Cat Became My Passenger [81]

Yevenko had just barely managed to temporarily pause Tom and Jerry’s endless battle.

Held snugly in Jerry’s arms, he was carried over to join Stelle and March 7th. Slowly, he raised his right hand, casting the crucial final vote.

Dan Heng looked around as all four had cast their votes, knowing in his heart that they were doing this for his sake.

Luofu was a place too deeply etched into his mind—a place where Dan Feng had experienced everything, the place of his own bir...

In the distant void, the pirate ship erupted into blinding flames. Nothing could survive such an explosion.

Inside Hoshigaki Sora’s ship, everyone had gathered around the windows, watching the spectacle outside.

Their initial panic at encountering galactic pirates had completely vanished.

All that remained now was amazement and admiration for those swiftly maneuvering through space.

"I really thought Sora-san went outside to negotiate... I didn't expect that..."
